As pets, which are more disgusting?

[Orrex]

Poll question: As pets, which are more disgusting?

Please--no "other" answers here. If you want to go on about how much more disgusting humans are than either of these choices, post your own poll.

:evilgrin:

On edit: Not flamebait! I own two cats, and one of them just did something in the litter box so vile that I'm afraid my house will be condemned. Hell, they might condemn the whole damned neighborhood, it's that bad.

[LeftyFingerPop]

1. OK, now I have to know...

What did the kitty do?

[Orrex]

3. If you're down-wind, you'll find out eventually

I don't care if you're a thousand miles away from me. It's that bad.

[LeftyFingerPop]

6. ...

:rofl:

[LeftyFingerPop]

7. Based on this...

I voted "cats".

[Connonym]

2. I've never seen a cat eat it's own poop so I have to vote dog

hell, a dog will even eat the CAT's poop. Dogs are clearly much more disgusting (but I still love 'em)

[Orrex]

5. A compelling argument IBTL

But one cat will think nothing of feasting on something on which another cat has already feasted and, uh, changed its mind.

[quakerboy]

10. With relish

They seem to positively enjoy going after cat waste, like its some sort of treat.

[Blue Diadem]

18. and then when they're done eating that they'll come lick your face!

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

but..I still love doggies.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

19. seconded. never had a cat eat the dogs poop either. nt

[Fenris]

4. Definitely cats.

I own three. They are all disgusting.

[MilesColtrane]

8. Cats at least make an attempt at being self-cleaning.

Dogs are just interested in their balls.

[quakerboy]

9. Other/ Rodents.

KMA. Pound for pound mice are f'n scary smelly. Dogs rolling in poo and cats stashing food around the house hain't got nuthin on them.

Believe me. One tiny white mouse can jack the odor(and livability level) of a dorm room in record time.

Plus the beady little eyes. Cant even tell where they are looking, like with a decent predatory pet.

[oedura]

15. I've kept mice (plural)...

...and the smell was non-existant or barely noticeable unless you leaned right over their cage.

You have to clean it occasionally.

[quakerboy]

36. It took less than an hour

starting from a brand new cage.

[Orrex]

26. Somebody apparently didn't read the OP. There is no "Other" category in this poll!

Way to do half a job, quakerboy!

:evilgrin:

[quakerboy]

37. I refuse to live in your box

[boilerbabe]

11. what are you asking?

[Zookeeper]

12. That sounds disgusting, but I know that given the chance....

one of my dogs would eat it.

I have both cats and dogs and dogs win the "most disgusting" award hands down.

[boilerbabe]

13. OK, Just Try Having a Racoon in your attic

[JCMach1]

14. Other, Ferrets

Let them run uncaged and they will turn the deepest darkest corner of your house into their private toilet. You will find nests of socks with one hole chewed the toe.

I also remember the time my cat pulled a thawing roast from the counter. The ferret appropriated it and was trying to carry a piece of meat bigger than it was underneath a counter. He damn near did it.

Gotta love cuz they are cute and playful, but ferrets will mess with your world.

[Orrex]

27. I have this fantasy that someday everyone will read the OP before responding to the poll

[JCMach1]

39. Guess that makes me a MAVERICK

in the same stylee as McLame :evilgrin:

[oedura]

16. Dogs, hands down...

One time events don't count. Once when I was a kid, we had a cat that apparently wasn't feeling too well that decided to come into my bedroom one night right after I'd went to bed and lay down a 1' wide, inch-deep (I kid you not) pool of diarrhea.

The second after that cat emptied its bowls, every other person in every other room in the house simultaneously yelled, "What the F*CK is that?!" I would have said it, too, but I was too busy supressing a sudden urge to barf. The stench was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bad.

But dogs are still more disgusting in their regular, day-to-day behavior.

[TZ]

17. Dogs.

Maybe if a cat came over and dropped a SEVERED bunny head in my hand I would feel differently (thanks ALOT Punkin!)--or decided to have a one on one with a skunk as well, or pretty much rip a fox to pieces and come back covered in the mess....My sister has terriers. Nice dogs, but get into the grossest shit!:puke:

[KG]

20. dogs. the more vile a pile of something, the more they wanna lay down and roll aound in it.

ugh!

[undeterred]

21. Would you like me to be specific?

Dogs, who lick every place they can reach.

Edit: I guess cats do that too. But when a large male dog does it right in front of you, its disgusting.

[rug]

22. My cat doesn't hump my leg.

[Orrex]

30. He does while you're sleeping

And your leg is the least of it.

[DarkTirade]

23. There are pets other than this y'know.

:P

[Orrex]

28. Nope. Just those two.

Start your own poll, trouble-maker!

[DarkTirade]

41. Well it's a moot point, because leopard geckos are very clean.

They make sure to pick one spot to use as their bathroom, and their poo almost never smells. :P

[daggahead]

24. I've had both ...

Dogs eat poop, cats hork up hairballs.

They both do disgusting things, but both have great qualities as pets, companions, and fascinating animals.

[Orrex]

29. This is no time for fence-straddling. Call it!

A question of this gravity demands decisiveness!

[daggahead]

32. Dogs! OK? Dogs, dammit!

[dropkickpa]

25. Cats

Not only do they crap on the house, we MAKE them crap in the house. And then we clean up the in-house crap. Giant turd nuggets on the lawn are much easier for me to deal with than litterbox smell. Cat urine and feces just really bug me.:shrug:

[cwydro]

31. I have dogs and cats.

One of my dogs will eat poop of ANY kind.

Gak!

[daggahead]

33. My pug ate some poop ...

that we could not identify. Not dog poop, not rabbit ... it was big. Maybe Bigfoot?

[cwydro]

35. Mine are especially fond of duck poop.

erg.

[Orsino]

34. Dogs are generally larger...

...and therefore generate a much greater volume of disgusting things.

[LeftyMom]

38. Ferrets.

You don't even have to wait for them to poop for them to smell like something dead left out in the sun.

[Shell Beau]

40. They do have a unique smell!

[Orrex]

46. All of you respondents who didn't read the OP are what's wrong with America

A pox on all your house!
:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

[southpaw]

42. Dogs... no contest.

Not. A. Dog. Person.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

43. None of my cats has ever eaten

the shit out of the litterbox.

Our dogs, on the other hand, would not only eat their own, but the cats' as well.

[Radical Activist]

44. Dogs slobber more, smell more, crap in random places.

No contest.

[libodem]

45. Dogs

I remember retching while cleaning up my room mate's daughter's dog vomit after it had eaten kitty nuggets from the cat box (out of my son's race car bed). We gave the dog away when she wasn't paying attention and she didn't even notice for about 3 days. They don't say 'Grinnin' like a shit eatin' dog ' for nothing.
